This specification covers "fiberglass" (glass-fiber-reinfor
ced thermosetting-resin) pressure pipe fittings for use with filament wound or centrifugally cast fiberglass pipe. The fibreglass fittings are defined by type, grade, class, category, and pressure rating: type 1 - filament-wound fittings, type 2 - compression moulded fittings, type 3 - resin transfer molded fittings, type 4 - centrifugally cast fittings, and type 5 - contact molded fittings; grade 1 - epoxy-resin, grade 2 - polyester-resin, grade 3 - phenolic-resin, grade 4 - vinylester resin, and grade 7 - furan resin; class A - no liner, class B - polyester-resin liner (nonreinforced), class C - epoxy-resin liner (nonreinforced), class D - phenolic resin liner (nonreinforced), class E - polyester-resin liner (reinforced), class F - epoxy-resin liner (reinforced), class G - phenolic resin liner, class H - thermoplastic-resin liner, class I - furan-resin liner (reinforced), class J - vinylester resin liner (nonreinforced), and class K - vinylester resin liner (reinforced); category 1 - taper-to-taper adhesive bonded joint fittings, category 2 - straight-taper adhesive-bonded joint fitting, category 3 - straight adhesive bonded joint fitting, category 5 - flanged fittings, category 6 - elastomeric sealed joints with sealant, and category 7 - elastomeric sealed joints with seals. Short-term hydrostatic strength test and cyclic or static pressure test shall be performed to meet the requirements prescribed.
